We're just about 27 hours away from the monstrous battle between Miami and Florida International, and the return of Ned....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. MLB with Jerry Crasnick: Are you currently wearing pants? If not, are they at least within arm's reach? • 2 p.m. PWBA's Carolyn Dorin-Ballard: Your bowling shirt says "Carolyn," but your eyes say "take me." • 2-4 p.m. Scouts on N...
He Might Get More Votes Than Mike Gravel
You've been blinded by the breathtaking brilliance of Digger Phelps on ESPN for years. Somehow, in the vast barren nation of banality, Phelps has been a beacon of hope and brilliance. So much so that, sheesh, we should elect him President!...
Marlins-Nationals Always Brings In The Big Crowds
We know it's the middle of September, and it's still kind of hot out, and everyone's back at work and concentrating on their jobs — really! — so not many have time to just head to Dolphins Stadium and watch two lousy teams play each other. But 400 people? 400? Really?...

At Last, Ned Has His Opportunity At Revenge
Sure, you can talk all you want about Michigan-Notre Dame — and the apparent curse of Bo Schembechler — but the real story this weekend is what's happening at the Orange Bowl on Saturday. That's right: It's the return of Ned!...
Off To Seattle We Go ...
In about two hours, we'll be hopping on a plane — JetBlue; we love the JetBlue — for the sunny peninsula of Seattle, Washington. (Note: Seattle is neither sunny nor a peninsula.) We've got quite a weekend schedule in Seattle, thanks largely to the fine folks at KJR 950, which has even set up the wo...
Vote Boulware! (Or Something)
When we think about NFL players of the last 10 years or so we'd imagine running for office someday, we can't say that former Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware was the first guy to come to mind. He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...
PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life
We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with p...
We Have To Ask ...

About Last Night ...
What you missed while fighting the Crazy 88s ... • MLB: LaLaWood Fables ... Dodgers sink slowly in the West, Angels soar. It's the circle of life. • WNBA: It seems like only yesterday that you didn't care that the WNBA season had begun, and now you fail to care that the Finals are almost over. Weird...
Do You Have Irish-Wolverines Fever?
If you didn't get your fill of quality football from that train wreck at Monster Park last night, worry not: You still have the Notre Dame-Michigan game to look forward to this Saturday. Yes, the 0-2 Fighting Irish travel to the 0-2 Wolverines in a game that has all the intrigue of two 80-year-old m...
September 11: Perspectives From Bayless, Mariotti And Paige
It's the six-year anniversary of September 11 today, and we're not gonna make a huge thing about it, because everyone should grieve / remember in their own personal way. To commemorate the occasion, though, we thought it might be fun to step in the way back machine and see how three of our great pol...
Do Not Even THINK About An NFL Player Dogfighting
Our pal AJ Daulerio, reporting for Philadelphia magazine, heard a rumor about a potential dogfighting case involving members of the hometown Eagles. Like any diligent reporter, he made a few calls, including one to the Eagles' office, and he found nothing, and reporting nothing. But that wasn't the ...

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11:15 a.m. Hall of Famer Joe Morgan: Any statements of the obvious you didn't cover last week? What color is grass? • Noon.

Please, No More MNF Doubleheaders
We're not sure why, exactly, we feel compelled to write about a game that we spent four hours writing about last night and just ended about eight hours ago ... and, oh yeah, was completely miserable to watch. But, alas, here we are....
Monday Night Football Returns ... And An Invitation
We noted that during the preseason, we enjoyed the work of the revamped "Monday Night Football" team; replacing Joe Theismann with Ron Jaworski really did make that much of a difference. But that was preseason....
